👉 Competibacteraceae is a family of bacteria, consisting of several genera that are known for their ability to form colonies on surfaces and in environments with high nutrient content, such as soil or water. These bacteria can colonize and thrive under various conditions, including acidic pH and high levels of oxygen. They are often associated with the growth of microorganisms found in soil and aquatic environments, where they can affect plant growth and even cause disease outbreaks.
